The montecino core look like a small city...that beast is "huge".

Anyone else find that processor image interesting? Comparing to other die, the cache for the Montecito doesn't look as segregated. Odd...

I'm just your average habitual smiler =D

It kind of is a city, and a big one at that!

There are more transistors in this chip than all the world's chinese population (and that's a lot - 1.25 billion chinese)...

This quad-processor system, for instance, has a combined transistor cound of 6.88 billion, which is more than one transistor for each human!!!

I was struck with that too. I wonder what the story behind that is.

Actually, a look at the die suggests that it has been indeed thought over more carefully than the occasional "slapping together" of two cores.

A look on the die is quite intriguing... We're looking at 1.7 billion transistors........ wow.
